It averaged around 250ms for both SEA and US for most people, however, in some cases, many people got 400ms+ to SEA (people on optus and ISPs that use the same international links as optus). Latency certainly is a factor in the decision, and in almost all cases, SEA will be a worse choice than US. | ||

I heard Blizzard will fix the locked region issue in a future patch, so hopefully it will happen. | ||

No, I get 102ms to SEA and 190ms to US, a lot of people get lower ping to SEA but everyone with optus infrastructure will be getting worse. | ||

i prefer having english as it is difficult to communicate at times. Played on uswest from my war3 days for a number of years. The pings i was getting connected to US west 170-200 the pings i was getting connected to kalimdor (asia) 250 + I think useast was around 220's It could all be different when sc2 gets released. | ||

Which is a pretty huge problem considering Optus is the 2nd largest Australian ISP, and a large number of smaller ISPs use their infrastructure. That alone is why the SEA server is a stupid idea, and USW has been perfectly fine/playable during beta. For anyone wanting to know their ping to SEA, just ping 202.9.67.100 IP blizzard gave out | ||

And just to weigh in on the latency issue, I get better ping to Singapore than USEast (Internode, regional Victoria, using LowerPing), but I'm perfectly happy with the USEast ping so it doesn't matter to me. | ||

Besides peak hours being in prime time, I enjoyed playing the server daily tournaments in War3 but didn't get to play often because the hours were so inconvenient. Sure this isn't an issue for SC2 at the moment, but I think there's a high probability that Blizzard will introduce it in the future. This is actually a really good point, the timing of the automated tournaments on US West were mostly terrible for Aus/NZ players back in WC3. This is a good reason to go for SEA. | ||

Does that mean its connected to the US server or the SEA server? I dont really mind both, because im currently playing in the US server and im having no problems at all. But also im Korean, so the SEA server works for me too i guess. | ||

Your Sydney copy will (should) be connected to the SEA server. Also Korea is on the Asian server not the SEA server. SEA = Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Aus, NZ etc I'm pretty sure... | ||

I'm not buying a copy of the game for a little while in hopes of waiting out the cross-realm patch (but I'm not holding my breath). | ||
